Fries

Wagyu Steak Topping

Vegetable Toppings

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to create fries.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Fries

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Drying the Fries

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Frying the Fries

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Seasoning the Fries

    While fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

Cooking the Wagyu Steak

  1. 6

    Preparing the Steak

    Season the Wagyu steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 7

    Grilling the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 8

    Resting the Steak

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Sautéing the Vegetables

  1. 9

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté sliced mushrooms, onions, and sweet bell peppers over medium heat until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembling the Wagyu Fries

  1. 10

    Layering the Fries

    On a large serving plate or platter, layer the crispy fries.

  2. 11

    Adding the Toppings

    Top the fries with the grilled Wagyu steak slices, sautéed vegetables, and sprinkle the white American cheese on top.

  3. 12

    Melting the Cheese

    Place the assembled fries under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 13

    Serving

    Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
